Chapter 123: A Window Opened
"It's okay, it's time for me to clean up and make dinner." Pan An said.
"Then Uncle Pan, I'll go first."
Twilight took her bowl and walked all the way back to her room.
She saw that Yuqin and Yulan were busy wiping the table, and the small kitchen was dirty, and a few old tables and chairs and a small stove were almost all occupied.
"Miss, you're back, go out and stand here, it's dusty." Yulan smiled.
"Don't get in the way, this is salt, you take it and cook."
"But we don't have any food...... Yulan said.
Dai Duyu supports his forehead, why is it so desolate?
"Ouch, this girl's family must have no food when she first arrives, I can't finish eating the third woman, I think you are neighbors, so I will send you some." An old woman laughed.
Her warm and generous face instantly won the hearts of Dai Duyu and the two little maids, it was too timely for this mother-in-law......
"Then thank you Sanma!" Dai Duyu said gratefully.
"Where are we going to take care of each other in the future."
"Has the third woman eaten?" Twilight asked.
"I've eaten it a long time ago, and I'm thinking about coming over to help you guys when I'm not busy." The mother-in-law laughed.
She wore a coarse cloth mattress today, and the half of the sleeves were pulled down by her from time to time, and she wore a simple laurel bun on her head, which looked clean and neat and not rude.
"Then you're going to have to bother the third woman." Dai Duyu said.
"Out of the way, let me see what this kitchen looks like."
As soon as she came in, she frowned, looked left and right, and found that it was okay, but why was the pot so dirty, and it was also cobwebed last time......
"Why don't you go to my place and cook first, you're really not going to be funny." The mother-in-law spoke.
The two little girls looked at Dai Duyu expectantly, Miss, you are talking, we don't want to eat what is cooked in this dirty pot.
"It's a little dirty in here." Twilight said.
The three of them followed the mother-in-law to another room, how could it be so neat, although there was only a big stove, but the floor was really clean.
Twilight suddenly realized that the floor here was made of dirt, and she seemed to remember that there were green bricks in Kyoto......
"Let's cook a few of them here, and some sun-dried pasta, I'll bring some out for you to cook." The mother-in-law said.
"It's really a small sparrow, but it has all kinds of organs." Yulan smiled.
"The little girl is really good at talking, so you can take it with me." The mother-in-law said.
"Okay, thank you, third woman."
Only Yuqin and Dai Duyu were left in the kitchen, and they were idly looking around at the kitchen, "What do you think of how this place compares to Kyoto, Yuqin?" ”
Yuqin hesitated for a while and said, "Naturally, it is not as good as Kyoto, but if you come, you will be safe, and Miss should not dislike it." ”
"What a good girl, where would I dislike this, it's enough for me to have you by my side."
"Miss, you're too sensational." Yuqin said.
"Silly girl, tell me if Leng Aohan sent you over?"
Yuqin looked at Dai Duyu in surprise, how could Miss even know this?
"Miss......"
"But it's good, you are my little maid and you can't leave me for a single step."
Yuqin was moved to tears, she only wants to follow Miss in this life, even if it is cold and the road is far away, she will not give up.
Dai Duyu carefully wiped her tears, how could she not be equally moved, these two little girls are sincere to themselves, and she must be more careful to protect them.
"Miss, the prince said that he would send someone to find you, don't worry." Yuqin choked up and said.
"Then why didn't he give some silver taels, didn't he see that he was poor now and couldn't open the pot......" Twilight complained to him.
"Miss, why are you still thinking about money?"
"It's hard to move without money, you see, I can't even afford rice now...... Do you want me to go farming? ”
Yuqin suddenly raised her head and looked at Twilight Rain, which made Twilight Rain desperate, "You don't really want me to farm, I tell you Ha Yuqin, I don't know anything." ”
"Not Miss......"
"What's that?"
"We don't even have a field!" Yuqin cried.
Twilight instantly felt a few crows flying overhead, and the sound of "quack" made her feel very helpless.
"Miss, don't be sad, we eat with our own hands, and the slaves and maids will not let you suffer." Yuqin said.
"How can I let you work hard, we will share blessings and difficulties." Twilight laughed.
"Okay, then the slave listens to Miss."
"Miss, here we are." Yulan said.
She had some more dry noodles in her hand, but one by one, and the flour was a little yellowish.
"Come, two little girls are here to help me." The mother-in-law said.
After a while, the group began to divide their labor, and Twilight couldn't stand the smell of smoke from the firewood, so she walked out of the door in a huff.
The two little girls looked at her with a smile, this young lady is really a pampered person, and she is even afraid of the smell of smoke.
They think it smells good, and the smell of the farmhouse is so natural and simple, but it's a pity that the young lady doesn't have the heart to experience it......
Twilight Yu stood at the door and saw Dai Chengming standing outside her room in a daze, so she walked over.
"What is Father looking at?" Twilight asked softly.
Dai Chengming came back to his senses, he smiled, "The rain is coming." ”
"Hmm."
"Look at the swallow's nest, and the little swallow." Dai Chengming said with a smile.
Dai Duyu saw that there was really a nest under the eaves opposite, and a few little swallows were waiting to be fed with their mouths wide open.
After a while, a big swallow flew back, it had a small green worm in its mouth, and several small swallows opened their big mouths when they saw it coming back.
The big swallow fed the worm to the youngest swallow, and the little swallow swallowed it without thinking.
The others looked at the swallow with some disappointment, but the swallow ignored them, and flipped away with its wings.
Dai Duyu and Dai Chengming both looked very fascinated, but they were contemplating in each other's worlds.
Twilight Yu thought of the hard work of the swallow leaving early and returning late, and the helplessness and sadness of not being able to feed the little swallow.
And what Dai Chengming thinks is that he has fallen into such a field, even his wife has to reconcile with him, and there is also the pressure of his mother and children, can he really bear this burden?
"Why did my father hurt his mind?" Twilight asked.
"Doesn't Yu'er know everything?"
"The daughter doesn't know, but she just listens to her father."
Dai Chengming took a deep breath and said: "Officialdom is a mixed place, and if I am not careful, I will be pulled off the horse, but how can I be willing to be calculated!" ”
"It turns out that the father is worried about this, but the daughter thinks that this farm life is very good, you see this sunrise and sunset, how many people yearn for it." Twilight laughed.
"But who can really put down the chair of power?"
"That's why my father is sad?"
"Sort of."
"Did the father ever think that he really wanted to be adored by others?" Twilight asked as she looked at him steadily.
Dai Chengming was stunned for a moment, this daughter's question is too straightforward, who doesn't want to be admired and recognized by others?
I am an ordinary man, how can I have a noble sentiment without desires and desires?
"Yu'er, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand."
"Isn't it my father's good face? In the final analysis, the ruin of this Shangshu Mansion today is also caused by his father's selfish desires. ”
Dai Chengming was a little angry in his heart, and his daughter was going to accuse him of not doing it, it seemed that he was really a failure......
"Father doesn't like to listen to such foul language, but he doesn't know how many traps he has been put in!" Twilight said.
Dai Chengming's heart trembled, his temperament is like this, is it really that he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot?
"Yu'er counts her father like this, have you ever thought about her father's feelings?"
"The daughter only knows that since ancient times, loyalty is good for deeds, and as for how the father wants to exonerate himself, the daughter does not know." Twilight sneered.
"You!"
"Isn't what my daughter said right? The hypocritical and strong Lord Shangshu. ”
Dai Chengming was a little frustrated, he raised his head and took a few deep breaths, he wanted to comfort his injured self like this.
"What Yu'er said makes sense, but a father is indeed not a person who loves to listen to advice."
"Then my father will have to endure the cold eyes of others, no wonder the emperor."
"You! Do you know the emperor too? ”
"The daughter is not stupid, imagine who else can hurriedly demote her father to Lingnan in one day?"
"But this doesn't mean that the emperor has lost trust in me!"
"Father, are you in the water in your brain? Didn't you realize it was premeditated? Maybe the saint has already chosen a place for you, just waiting for you to celebrate your grandmother's birthday! ”
Dai Chengming was very frightened, how could this daughter see everything through, could it be that she already knew about it?
"Yu'er, what do you know?"
"My daughter doesn't know, but I'm stupid, my daughter can still see it."
"You!"
"Haha, the father is angry, and the daughter is just joking." Twilight laughed.
She didn't want to exacerbate the conflict between father and daughter, this man was still her father after all...... Not biological, though.
Twilight Yu played with her blue and white purple jade bracelet, the pure and clean color looked beautiful, could it be that this was a legendary ancient artifact?
"Yu'er, this jade bracelet is so beautiful, why hasn't my father seen it before?" Dai Chengming asked suspiciously.
"It was sent by the prince." Dai Duyu said.
She can't say that this is sent by her grandfather, it is best to push this matter to Leng Aohan, so that no one will want to fight it.
"Yu'er is really loved by the prince of the world."
"Father praised it."
"What an immodest one!" Dai Chengming shouted "seriously".
